He flings Tecmo Bowl blimpballs, easy for
receivers to adjust to; his range is about 70 yards. Kid’s got a cannon – everyone remembers his “Simultaneous Possession” hail mary to Tate. Hawks fans also remember well number 3's heave that beat Brady last year. His precision touchdown to
Baldwin Sunday just before halftime (it must be mentioned: he manages the game
well) was beautiful, it plopped down right where only his guy could catch it;
above double coverage with pinpoint accuracy.
Also, Russell Wilson has courage. And ambition and
drive. In a word, balls. I like that he’s studious
(whenever it’s the D’s turn he retires to the bench with his
notebook and immerses himself in intellectual analysis of the game) does well
in interviews, etcetera. I like that
he's heady: he only runs when he has to, and protects himself. I like that he played baseball, because he
knows how to slide, and can flip backhanded touchdown pitches. I love that he sacks up in crunchtime, and
that he sprints out of the pocket and threatens to run... then throws over the top like Randall Cunningham.
And I love that fact that the
young man has proven himself to be a mature and capable leader. I trust him to use the clock to his
advantage, and to make something happen with his huge gun or his lightening
quick pistons, and never to bitch when he gets hit. Never to commit a personal foul (unless someone
deserves it). Never to whine about his
coaches or teammates. Certainly to
appreciate Hawk Nation Fans, who have fallen in young with the brainy underdog. Stud’s got big balls. His potential is as sky high
as his throwing style, because of his physical, emotional and
intellectual IQ.
